Third, Fourth, Fifth Wheels

Draped in the finest fabrics, Prince Nathaniel had changed into a robe crafted from delicate silk, adorned with intricate patterns reminiscent of delicate forest leaves and swirling vines. The colors were a combination of deep greens and earthy browns, accentuating his — and his kingdom's connection — with nature.

A golden belt with intricate engravings cinched his waist, showcasing his royal lineage. Embroidery of silver thread embellished his cuffs and collar, capturing the glimmer of sunlight through the trees overhead them.

His leather boots barely made a sound as he crossed the courtyard to where the rest of them stood. Only Daphne greeted him with a smile. The rest of them wore equally dark expressions, each worse than the rest.
